  1. Scott Sweeney

    Is it permissible to skip Sarria to Santiago?

    We have avoided that last 100 km for 11 years. We don't need another Compostela, it simply isn't worth the crowds, noise and...... Just not worth it.

    Ask MARSKA, she did it last October.

    Crazy things people do in the last 100 km

    Skip it to avoid the mobs.

    Sleeping bag or just liner (starting Frances at SJPdP on April 25th)

    We hav walked in snow in May before. I'm 71 and wouldn't think twice about taking a sleeping bag.

    Walking from Pamplona to St. Jean Pied de Port

    Spend the night in Burguete, when you get to Roncesvalles I recommend taking the road up over the mountain beautiful views of the church.
  7. Scott Sweeney

    Ashes on the Frances

    Jeffery you know the proper answer to this. As a matter of fact you explained to me how the church looks at separating remains. Of course we could talk about this over a glass of wine.

    Curb

    Picking grapes from vineyards along the way

    I would lean more towards NO, it's not acceptable.
  11. Scott Sweeney

    Pamplona suggestions needed.

    We have enjoyed several and always spend a couple days when we pass through. Try Hotel Yoldi, or Hotel Arriazu it is our favorite.

    Where to Stay for the First 2 Days of the Camino Frances from SJPDP

    We've always enjoyed the comfort and food's at Hostal Burguete.
  13. Scott Sweeney

    CF Backwards? West to east.

    Yes, enjoyed it immensely in 2017, it was like walking the Camino I'd never seen before.
  14. Scott Sweeney

    Will finding a bed be a challenge in May on the Frances?

    Or walk another route. This is why we have avoided the Frances for over 6 years. To many people, to many early morning walker's, I just don't want to worry about not finding bed's. There is plenty of beautiful sights to be seen. I hope you're fortunate.

    If I don't stop in Zubiri, What do you recommend?

    The Hotel has a great dinning area and have never, ever had a bad meal.
  16. Scott Sweeney

    If I don't stop in Zubiri, What do you recommend?

    Hotel Burguete a great place. We catch the morning bus to Zubiri and walk away from Zubiri. Pamplona is only about 19km.

    Pyrenees difficulty

    We've found crossing those mountain on the CF or Argones at times challenging. Our biggest issue was always been the elevation. We live at roughly 52' above sea level. The easier hikes over the mountain was when we gave ourselves a day to acclimate In St Jean Pied de Port or Oloron-Sainte-Marie...
  18. Scott Sweeney

    Is the Albergue in Roncesvalles a “must”?

    No. We find Burguete much more comfortable, warm and great food.
  19. Scott Sweeney

    Roncesvalles and Mansilla seem to be the bed crunch trouble spots

    We only stayed in Roncesvalles once and herself rolled off the upper bunk and cracked her heel ( camino was over). After that we always walked on to Burguette and love the place. Beds are comfortable, cafe/bar is quiet and the food is excellent. Upside of that story is we were back six months...
  20. Scott Sweeney

    Bed bugs & getting rid of gear

    You can more than likely expect to find more if you're following somebody else or those people that stayed previous to you in that albergue.
